> that I can't find in my own work

But you're not the spokesperson for Guix, are you?

A quick search of GUIX mailing lists turned up this thread from 2017.

From [Chris Marusich](https://narkive.com/BnGNBXUh.7):

> I don't want to use Guix on macOS to package, promote, or make it easy
to use non-free software.

Interestingly, that entire thread is a good faith exploration of what it would take to run Guix on mac at the time, but they conclude that there's no Free Software way to bootstrap the entire process, and rule it out. They consider toolchains, compilers, emulators, VMs, Docker, etc. but not starting with XCode.

Which is fine! Guix simply has different values and makes different choices.

You repeatedly say "can't", but given how Guix shares DNA with nix, which has done it on a mac, I'm a bit dubious about any technical infeasibility.
Especially if the mob and/or government begin to want to "cancel" you.
Did Jesus himself do that directly?

I mean directors like Kubrick, Hitchcock and John Landis that acted like dictators. See twilight zone accident.
Also because up until the mobile App Store walled gardens (and all the downsides they bring) arrived circa 2010, paying for software online was slow and awkward. And generally still is on desktop (except for games).

Also because corporate software (ie. anything popular) had a tendency to start complicating the licensing terms. Sorry, that feature is not available in the Home edition. And nowadays you can't even buy a lot of software, you have to pay a recurring subscription.
It's not just tech people, but any field with a high enough complexity.

The "abstract" of a journal article is supposed to contain all the key points of a science experiment including the results, but it's too rare that they do.

I think some folks are just hitting their limits, and needed more time to digest/ review their publication.

Other folks are doing it I obfuscate or pad their work, for whatever reason.

Quitting nicotine ends up being a lifetime battle for most people in my experience.

I’ve know too many people who simply cannot quit smoking, even when it’s clear they’re rotting from the inside out.

Nicotine addiction is on an entirely different level than caffeine.

How is this creating value for shareholders? They wasted a bunch of engineer and pm salaries building useless products that never made (and now never will make) any significant money.
> I cannot for the life of me grasp nihilistic resignation [...]

I agree that change is possible through a hard-fought battle, both legally and socially. On the other hand, "Everyone can just decide not to use these tools. Simple." sounded like a naive expectation to the extent that I'd expect to read it as a strawperson set up by someone making the opposing point that unanimous voluntary relinquishing of easily-available tools, against self-interest, is unrealistic.

I'm also relatively optimistic about the future machine learning. If I thought the change you wanted was entirely impossible, it'd probably be "smug contentment" rather than "nihilistic resignation".
They just don't do UX or product strategy or UAT or any of the things that aren't technical. They always have cool designs and sophisticated features but they just don't match how people live.

I'm not really disagreeing with you so much as wishing that webdevs had access to a better UI toolkit because the current state of things makes life harder unnecessarily.
This is also how Apache (hence the name) and the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) were born.
"You will be paid in exposure" - this is where the venn diagram for devs & social media influencers intersect.
So basically you can protest legally as long as you don't protest against certain things the government protects. I'm gonna stand by my original assertion. It's like saying you can publish whatever you like in China as long as you don't mention Tianamen Square.
Parquet is a file format. Should a file format be in Debian?
Presumably most corporate VPNs are used to access specific resources on internal company networks, so if you were affected by this, those resources would fail to load entirely.

But also, if you were using more specific routes for your corporate VPN traffic and not just forwarding all traffic through it, then the simple attack of sending two /1 rules wouldn’t interfere.

You’d still leak some metadata, but you leak a lot by using public networks anyway.

From article it sounded like the clause to 'veto' was really meant as a fact check. Kubrick would be able to get chance to leave sections out, or clarify. That he just rejected the whole thing was the surprise.

Like if someone hired you to do a Web Site, and there was of course some stipulation that you get to review it. Then you complain the buttons are the wrong color and just reject the whole thing.
The point of "redundancy" here is so you can don't have to evacuate the space station while Dragon is grounded during the investigation you describe.

Nobody is saying a failure would result in the end of Dragon or SpaceX.
i've been super happy with organic maps, but i have to admit maybe 3 possible downsides:
1. in my country openstreetmap is very well populated so i usually find what i'm looking for, but this isn't the case everywhere
2. search is just not as good sometimes - i once typed "gym" and it took me to a place in india. so to find places i still rarely use google maps.
3. there's no proper desktop app yet, or at least it's not widely published - i think it's being worked on, but until it's in the arch repos (the one in the AUR says it's outdated) i'm holding off on it.

still, giving google 99% less data is worth the slight inconveniences sometimes for me. also, it works perfectly offline if you download the maps!
The problem with social media is that people on it take half-truths like the T in LGBT ruining women's sports (has happened in a few cases) and exaggerating it to the point where they will make you believe it is happening at such a massive scale that society is on the brink of collapse which is very often not the case. And I partly blame social media because it probably is because of the feedback loop of getting way more likes and attention for giving you the exaggerated rather than the grounded version of these problems.

I can see how you can write rules that block "bad traffic", but I can't see how you write them so they don't also block some "good traffic" when the network assigns a routing rule.

I think the person here might be glossing over writing overzealous rules that cause the VPN connection to go down when an Option 121 route is assigned, when the ideal solution leaves the VPN functional (and causes tunneled traffic to ignore the route).
You are missing one valid use-case: avoiding three-strikes letters being sent to your ISP by the MPA. Unless you're part of a release group, the complaints from the MPA never rise to the level of actual legal action, so your VPN provider is free to bin them, whereas your actual ISP would almost certainly act on them.

Oh I’m not a big fan of it either. Especially because I’ve never really seen a lot of the “fake work” have much value. Usually enterprise architecture or whatever you want to call it ends up being an insane amount of aged documentation that is useless because it’s never updated despite the best intentions. Over the years it’ll typically also erode its own standards as the people leading the efforts change and their standard preferences change with them.

Last but not least, it’s a total waste of time to have actual developers do it. Instead of working on something useful. Of course the challenge then becomes that 90% of the architects and whatever actually don’t know how to write their own design documents from changes, which means they need to waste developer time to do it… meaning that no only are they a completely useless employee they are also wasting the time of useless employees.

This shouldn’t be taken as black and white. As I wrote earlier, it can be done to help work flow. It’s just than in reality these processes usually end up doing far more harm than good. But if you, are, going to do it, at least enforcing standard is the right thing to do.

I personally avoid working at places with too much bureaucracy because I don’t want to waste my time writing documents nobody will ever read after they are approved.
I wonder what the performance is like?
I tried to install it on ubuntu 22.04 and got a different error using pip. I'm not experienced enough with Python to quickly figure out how to proceed. It's a shame it isn't easier to install.
I think the mindset of "participating effectively in complex [work] discussion is not an inherent part of your work" is exactly what desktop-only is concretely pushing back against.
I'm not sure where you're drawing your implications from, but that is not implied, to me. I frequently see the concept of privacy applied to situations where an entity isn't required to ID themselves for the sake of privacy.

The common description when contrasting anonymity vs privacy is that anonymity allows one to do things publicly without being ID'd while privacy allows one to do things without the public having knowledge. There is no implication or requirement that the private party has been ID'd by another other entity.
That doesn't mean the dhcp reuse the ip if it sees it used. Some old clients do not behave correctly and I believe DHCP servers take that into account.
Everyone use to smoke, it was something you didn't need equipment for.

If you have no idea behind which wall a pipe terminates or don't know which of 30 pipes runs to [say] the back room you blow some smoke into it (or a lot) One would mostly use it because it is really fast. Non smoking solutions take considerably longer. One might put a pull string in the tube, if you need to wire it anyway that wouldn't take much extra time but ideally you start pushing the spring into the tube on the side closest to the sharp corners. If there are many pipes on that side you would start pushing on the other and might get stuck. If the curves are really smooth the spring could drop out of the tube. You could need an extra set of hands (more expensive). With the smoke test you could push the spring in from the other end.

If there are wires in the tubes you can tie them together and use an ohm meter to find the right tube. You might have to walk up the stairs 10 times.

Non of it is much like software development.
It's true I'll hate on micrsoft for about anything but they didn't say "some products" "some services" "some processes", they said "EVERY SINGLE THING!!!", see the difference?
The "write out your imports" ship sailed with modules. Nobody wants to write out "code.internal.corporate.domain/bureaucratic/hierarchy/of/orgs/foo" when they're looking for "foo". Even GitHub-hosted modules have fairly long names.

The tools need to get better though. I'd rather they fall back to asking me than guessing when the import is ambiguous. I also think they should only ever autoimport from the stdlib or what's directly referenced in go.mod.

This site seems much more like an some of the awesome-<insert tech here> repositories on github than a guide. Although it does give some extra information on the packages.

To not make it took negative. I personally use Chezmoi, which I've been super happy with. The ability to maintain files in a central repository and then pull them into the file system on an update is quite nice.

You can handle merge conflicts and whatnot between your local copy and the upstream dot files. You can opt your files into using go templates in your files which is useful when I need to maintain differences in configs between mac and linux, or in general for just storing secrets out of your dotfiles.

There are some small annoyances but overall it is the only dotfile manager, I've managed to stick with.
Internships can be less impactful. Interns are young and frequently not attached to a place. Full time employees frequently have families, partners with their own jobs, kids in school, mortgages, uprooting them and kicking them out is a huge disaster for most people.

Weinstein also got a lot of good movies made, probably more than Kubrick. Sexual abuse and rape is fine and forgiven I guess.
I believe there are two points in the message :

- A normative one : the less is supported, the better.

- A descriptive one : many (not indicative of any share) of their relations actually do that.

None of the points is telling about their relations, aside from, maybe, not having many friends in adtech.
Given that PowerPC supports indexed load/store instructions with reversed endianness it's doesn't cost extra cycles or code size to access little-endian peripherals. The real problem is how fragile drivers are these days.
> The Hyper-V PowerShell cmdlets that wrap the underlying Hyper-V WMI provider are well maintained and provide complete access to many settings not properly exposed in Hyper-V Manager.

I'm very familiar with Hyper-V, HVManager, and SCVMM. If you want to do anything more than a light touch deployment of a VM you're going to use Powershell. Microsoft has made that abundantly clear and even their training courses have you deploy through PS. SCVMM adds a nice wrapper with some additional orchestration. And it also adds a whole other library of PS that are also not exposed in their very advanced Windows SCVMM GUI.

This is a cool experiment but completely unnecessary. You can write a Powershell GUI with the settings and options that you prefer. It's what I've done when I wanted to see nice tabular view of VM resources that the existing GUIs could not give me. Give in to Powershell!
It's not a useless measure. Normalizing total debt against total income is a sensible way to compare countries to another. It's just not a measure that is a unitless ratio of two measures with the same units. (The unit is years [of income to payoff the debt if no further interest accrued].)
Think the issue is, Kubrick was so sensitive, that even the most mild criticism was taken badly. So the author knows the score, and treads lightly, and is still jumped on.

The author was hired to do a 'nice' book, and was pretty nice but the customer was a Prima donna and rejected it anyway.

Think we've all encountered bad customers like this.
It's a heck of a lot harder to effectively eradicate physical media than digital.

F.ex. if I shower a town with 250 physical leaflets + I post on all the major platforms, and immediately people of power attempt to suppress them, which do you think results in more people seeing them?
The real problem with all of this is that DHCP has a lot of weird legacy options that most people are not aware off and that may or may not be fully implemented on most clients, but some of which that are pretty powerful. And in practice, clients trust DHCP servers implicitly, because it's an old protocol that didn't really consider the possibility that you may be on a LAN where the DHCP cannot be trusted.

The differentiator would be semantic classification of the content itself, like "videos with your cat", "photos of your mountains" etc. I know Google Photos does it, but I haven't used it that much, not sure if b/c UX is bad or b/c maybe it doesn't solve an urgent need

also, the lowest hanging fruit might be helping me delete junk in my phone. but I understand this would likely include more than just metadata inspection and LLM-based sorting.

my main use case is deleting photos that are obviously useless, top of the line are memes I've sent people 1 month ago, duplicate photos, obviously wrong shots etc.

but might be just as hard as making a spam filter. maybe tarpit idea? I'd try it if I'd have the time, but it likely requires training, thus significant upfront costs

> Silencing an idea gives a certain air of feasibility to it, one in charge does need to bother silencing something that is obviously false and easily disproven.

Allowing an idea or a viewpoint to be part of legitimate media discourse gives an even larger air of legitimacy - the so-called "Overton window" [1]. The far-right across virtually all Western countries has been very successful in expanding that window and shifting the idea of where the "center" lies very far to the right.

An example here from Germany is Beatrix von Storch, who called for allowing the police to shoot even at refugee children attempting to cross the borders back in 2016 [2], leading to major national outrage. Nowadays, articles of border police actually shooting on refugees don't even make the headlines any more, it's just a "this also happened" line.

> Covid should have made this clear, health officials and governments have walked back on almost all of the ideas that they claimed to be dangerous lies during the pandemic response.

There are only two major things that turned out to be actually wrong: that "ordinary" cloth masks protect against covid (which indeed was a lie, to prevent people from hoarding masks needed for healthcare and some sorts of employment) and that vaccines provide sterile immunity (they didn't in the end, but early data from when these statements were made suggested that this were the case and many people didn't realize that science can and does improve over time).

I think there are two ways to go about implementing AI.

The low-key implementations that assist are the most elegant ways to implement AI functionality. If I can use a product and not realize AI is behind it, the product has successfully utilized it. Spam filters fall into this case. Automatic “radio” stations from streaming services fall into this too.

The worst forms of AI implementation are the kind that spend more screen real estate advertising AI as if the product has something to prove. This hinders my experience as a user because I do not care about AI if it isn’t seamlessly fitting in my workflow.

I’m not sure what’s happening at Microsoft, but their insistence on AI in very unusual places doesn’t give me confidence they want to embrace AI in a manner that’s helpful. It feels like someone’s resume boosting exercise. It gives me the feeling they are desperate.
